Introduction: Beckers’s nevus is a cutaneous hamartoma which usually appears as a circumscribed hyperpigmentation with hypertrichosis. It usually presents unilaterally and the usual site is shoulder and scapula. It is rarely congenital and it is usually noticed first during adolescence.

Case Report: Herein, we report a congenital bilateral large Becker’s nevus with positive familial history of Becker’s nevus. There were no associated anomalies in our patients.

Conclusion: Familial and bilateral cases of Becker’s nevus can present with no associated anomalies as “Becker’s syndrome”.

Keywords: becker’s nevus, familial cases, congenital anomalies
